Backflow Testing in Longwood
Annual backflow testing in Longwood, with the report filed so the notice stops.
The City of Longwood tests residential backflow devices itself for a fee but does not repair them — which makes the repair after a failed city test the call we get most from Longwood. Longwood accepts reports sent directly by the tester, or the owner can email the report to the city's backflow program address. We send it directly.

Quick answer
Backflow testing in Longwood means a certified tester checks the device on your meter, irrigation line or fire line with a calibrated gauge and files the passing report with your water purveyor. City of Longwood Public Works runs the water system for city addresses and runs its own backflow program. Longwood tests residential backflow devices itself for a $40 fee, testing only. Homeowners can use that program or hire a licensed tester; either way the city wants a passing report on file within its 90-day window and can disconnect water for non-compliance.
What we
actually do.
Longwood sits between Lake Mary and Altamonte along 17-92 and 434, older housing stock with a lot of irrigation on city water.
We turn down the test when your city already does it for you. Longwood tests residential devices for a fee, Casselberry tests irrigation devices on its own cycle, and Altamonte Springs tests residential devices at no charge. If your notice says the city is doing the test, use the city — paying us on top of that is wasted money.

Backflow Testing in Longwood — FAQ
Who does my backflow test report go to in Longwood?
City of Longwood Public Works runs the water system for city addresses and runs its own backflow program. Longwood accepts reports sent directly by the tester, or the owner can email the report to the city's backflow program address. We send it directly.

How long does a backflow test take in Longwood?
About 20 to 30 minutes per device once we are on site, with your water off for a few minutes of it. Longwood sits between Lake Mary and Altamonte along 17-92 and 434, older housing stock with a lot of irrigation on city water.
Longwood already tested my device and it failed — what now?
You need a repair, a retest, and a passing report on file before the city's deadline. The city does not do the repair. Call us with the make and model off the device and we bring the kit, rebuild it, retest it, and send the passing report to the city's backflow program.
What do I need to do before the tester arrives?
Make sure the device is reachable — cut back landscaping if it is buried, and have the key if it is in a locked enclosure. You do not need to be home for an exterior device. If you know the make and model, tell us when you book so the right rebuild kit is on the truck in case it fails.
Holding a notice? Call the tester.
Read us the notice. We tell you who it says should do the test, what it costs if that is us, and — if your city already tests for you — that you do not need us at all.
